Google’s Vic Gundotra takes stroll on beach, using Nexus 10 with 3.2 megapixel camera, Snapseed?

Nexus-times-two (1)

We all just absolutely love little leaks, don’t we? It appears as though Google’s own Vic Gundotra has taken a stroll on the beach and taken some lovely (for a tablet) images. While they’re not the crisp images you’d see from a high end camera phone they do depict a nice beach.

What’s strange though? Well, this got me thinking – what camera is Vic using to upload images to Google+. We checked the EXIF data of the image – lo’ and behold, Vic is walking around rocking a Nexus 10! It’s taking snaps at a size of 2048×1536 and 4:3 ratio. At our calculations, this pits the Nexus 10′s camera at 3.2 megapixels which is not breaking any boundaries.

Anyway, this is basically the first true leak of some specifications of the Nexus 10 – besides for the ultra high (2560 x 1600) resolution we’ve heard of before. Vic could just be yanking all of our chains, but that’s quite unlikely.

Interestingly, although the EXIF data remains intact, the colours of the photo don’t quite look like what one would expect coming from a tablet camera. There’s a good chance these photos have been processed, possibly even with Snapseed, who Google bought out with the purchase of Nik Software earlier this year.

In any case, we’ll certainly see more come Monday night’s Android event.
